This is a really fun book! You can spend as little or as much time as you want reading it, because you can make so many different stories out of it. Sometimes it takes only a few minutes to complete the story (good for bedtimes). The black and white line illustrations by Rania Varvaki are hilarious. Most pages have only two or three lines, so it would be ideal for kids learning Greek as well. Some pages have more text. The author is a criminologist. He has written a whole library of books for children. ( )
